COURSE OVERVIEW
Tubular and casing must be properly selected to withstand all loads during the life of the well. Engineers must select the appropriate tubular grade and weight, which will withstand the loads and be economic for the project. This course tends to address various designing parameters that need to be considered for casing and tubular design.
A participative program to enable well operations personnel to develop the required knowledge to assure the best casing and tubular design. On the first day, the design of different tubular and casing are taught. Next, preliminary design and design factors are explained completely. Then, the rating of pipes based on burst and collapse is discussed. Afterward, different types of loads are elaborated e.g. biaxial. Finally, some issues such as various types of connections and crucial design parameters are stated.

INSTRUCTOR
Peter Aird
Peter Aird C.Eng, CmarEng, FIMarEST, has 40 years’ experience as a drilling, well engineering and operations specialist. Peter worked in Shell International from 1980-1987 as a drilling supervisor, where he then worked in staff-based positions from 1987-1993 with Shell & BP. He then developed further knowledge and experience working in global consultancy positions from 1993-2005 in Deepwater, HPHT, Exploration and Appraisal Frontiers and Deepwater Horizontal development drilling and more complex well’s projects. Areas worked included: South East Asia (Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, China), North Atlantic, West of Britain, Norway, Faeroes, Greenland, the Black Sea, South Atlantic, Europe Mediterranean, Red Sea and West Africa. From 2005 Peter was employed in senior staff, consultant and advisory based specialist drilling engineering leadership roles with operating companies including Kerr McGee, Maersk & Marathon Oil, Cairn Energy (UK), ONGC (India), Centrica (Norway), and Providence Resources (Ireland). Drilling specialties further refined on a variety of subsea, horizontal, platform in-fill, HPHT, deep and ultra-deep water drilling projects.
